PDF Drawing to STEP

Convert a PDF drawing to a STEP file

A PDF of an engineering drawing holds flat views, not a solid, so there is nothing inside it for a file converter to extract. Aikyora reads the views and rebuilds the solid, then exports STEP.

  • No solid inside a 2D PDF
  • Rebuilt, not extracted
  • STEP out

The challenge

What mechanical design teams get back from Aikyora.

  1. 01

    Tools advertised as PDF-to-STEP only work on 3D PDFs, which already contain a model.

  2. 02

    A 2D drawing PDF stores views, lines and dimension text — there is no geometry to export.

  3. 03

    Tracing the sheet by hand produces dumb geometry nobody can revise afterwards.

Scripted, re-runnable models

Built for mechanical design workflows.

Aikyora treats the sheet as a specification rather than a container. drawing_to_3d reads the views, dimensions and hole positions, cad_studio rebuilds the part as a parametric script, and the solid is exported to STEP. The output is a real B-Rep solid, not a mesh approximation.

  • Read the sheet, not the file wrapper

    Views, dimensions and title-block data are parsed from the drawing itself.

  • Rebuild a real solid

    The result is B-Rep geometry from a kernel, not a triangulated mesh.

  • Keep it editable

    Dimensions stay named parameters, so a revision is a value change.

  • Export what downstream opens

    STEP, BREP and IGES for solids; STL and GLB when a mesh is wanted.

Powerful integrations

Connect Aikyora with your favourite apps.

The exported STEP opens in the CAD software you already run. Conversion also feeds the rest of the agent: the rebuilt solid can be defeatured for simulation, meshed for printing, or sent back through model_to_2d as a clean dimensioned sheet.

Automate tasks & actions

An agent that models — and documents what it built.

Upload the drawing as it arrived

No resizing or re-encoding — that destroys the dimensional relationship.

Apply the scale bar when there is one

vectorize_scan uses it to recover true millimetres from a scan.

Rebuild as a parametric script

The script is kept, so the conversion is auditable and re-runnable.

Export STEP for the next tool

A B-Rep solid, openable in the CAD package you already use.

Re-issue a clean drawing

model_to_2d generates a true-scale sheet from the recovered solid.

Keep both in the artifact store

Source drawing, rebuild script and STEP stay together per tenant.

Every model is a script, so what the agent decided stays readable.
